Is this common?

My cat Ugglan (the Owl) seems to have an overbite. Is this a common thing? He doesn't seem to be suffering and when he sleeps it makes him look like a little vampire. He looks really cute and funny.

But I wonder if it's a common thing and if it can be a problem for him later on.

The cat in my avatar, Chester, is our "vampire kitty".  He just has long canine teeth - it isn't an overbite.  It looks like that's what Ugglan has, too, although his top teeth do stick out a little, don't they?  If it doesn't interfere with his eating, he should be fine.  He's really pretty!

Thank you he is my little ball of fur... literally. And what you're telling me is reassuring because he eats happily.

Yep!  I've got one with an overbite as well.  Doesn't slow her down one bit.
